Workforce Solutions Capital Area partners with many local healthcare employers to train and hire the workforce for this key local industry. One of our partners is the University of Texas at Arlington and Ascension Healthcare. Here, in their own words, are how they are creating positive community impact locally.
The University of Texas at Arlington is proud to partner with Ascension Healthcare in educating and leading our great state’s future nurses. UTA offers the nation’s #1 accelerated-online BSN program for those seeking a non-traditional setting (online or while working full-time) all over the state of Texas, from large metropolitan areas like DFW, Houston, and Austin, to smaller, rural areas where excellent healthcare is needed now more than ever.
- This includes a new Rural Residency program, launched to support new graduate nurses living and working in rural area.
- Students can learn and grow where they live and give back to their communities once graduated.
- Check out the story of one UTA CONHI graduate, Macie Mayes, who was able to complete her nursing education through forging a new partnership between UTA and Methodist Hill Country.
There’s more: UTA offers the RN-BSN pathway and advanced degrees including the MSN, DNP, and PhD to contribute to higher education in practice and research. In true Maverick fashion, we believe in pioneering the field of nursing through innovative simulation experiences, cutting-edge research, and scientific studies geared towards improving the human condition.
- We are the largest not-for-profit college of nursing nationally and the largest producer of baccalaureate educated nurses in the state.
- Beyond these achievements, our greatest pride lies in our student body themselves: robust, growing numbers of military veterans, first-generation college students, and one of the most ethnically diverse campuses in the United States.
- We strive for compassionate, equitable healthcare through advancing global health endeavors towards improving the human condition, recognizing that collaboration is at the heart of it all.
Efferata Tigabu, one of our most recent UTA CONHI graduates, had a unique experience as both a first-generation college graduate and recipient of the Dream Maker scholarship, one designed for students pursuing nursing.
UT Arlington is a member of the Central Texas Healthcare Partnership. The partnership was founded in early 2018 under the leadership of three Central Texas healthcare industry leaders: Baylor Scott & White Health, Ascension Seton, and St. David’s HealthCare.
